Prof. James admirably expresses the effect of the college atmosphere on a man who has the courage of his convictions. He is made to feel that enthusiasm on any subject or criticism of even the most disgraceful conduct is "fresh" or "bad form." The effect of this is, of course, to discourage genuineness of character and independence of thought on just such vital questions as that now before the students...
...offered one of the most respected officials of the college by a crowd of men who collected underneath his window and amused themselves by throwing firecrackers and torpedoes against the panes. Such childishness is not to be tolerated at Harvard; and childishness is a mild term for such ungentlemanly conduct.

It is a disgrace that students who feel competent to discriminate in matters of religion are unable to act in a responsible matter in a mere case of gentlemanly conduct. It is a disgrace that Harvard students, when called upon to vote as a body upon a matter of moment to the whole university, not only fail to respond to the call, but even allow themselves to be betrayed into an action characterized only by boyish irresponsibility. It is a disgrace, that when...
